THE MARKETS,
Dealings in Stocks Marked with Con-
siderable Foyerishness,


New YORK, Jan. 2O.--There was a mod
crate degree ofactivlty in the stock market
to-day, although nearly one.third Of the
days business was transacted In the first
hour. The dealings were marked with
considerable feverishness, especially in the
forenoon, Notwithstanding the fact that the
general feeling was mildly confident
Reading became the leader, both as the
amount OF business done and the interest In
the trading. The stock recorded considerably
over one-third OF the business In all stocks,
although nothing new Of Importance was
developed. The buying was very good, aud
rumors were heard In regard to the favor
more amicable relations with the Pennsyl-
vania. The other coal stocks, however, did
not share in the strength displayed by
Reading, and Jersey Central was especially
weak, the bears being active In all the coal
stocks.
Richmond and West Point showed con-
siderable weakness and retired to sec
ondary place In the trading. New Eng.
land, however, agaiu came TO the front, its
business being second only to that OF Read
ing. There was fractional rally In the
afternoon, but the decline was soon re-
sumed. 1t was checked In the last hour
and the close was steady, though many
stocks were at the lowest OF the day.
Money on call has been easy, ranging
from 81 TO 8, last loan at Q, and closing OF.

SUGAR ON THE FREE LIST.

PetitIoninr For IL.

The business men Of Baltimore declare for
free sugar, and. memoriallze Congress TO
place 1t on the free list. This example
should be followed by the commercial bod
les and business men throughout the coun-
try. They should pass resolutions Of like
purport and send them TO their senators
and representatives in Congress. We pub
lish the full text Of the memorial, with Gig
natures attached, as printed in the Balti-
more Sun Of the 20th instant:
10 he Honorable the Senate and House Of Rep.
rescntditres Of nc United States IN C0pgress as
anbied. In view Of the existing surplus In the
treasury and It's constant tendency to increase,
as the result OF redundant revenues, these
memorialists believe that there Is an imme-
diato and pressing necessity for the repeal OF
taxes OF some kind, and while they are aware
that great diversity Of opinion exists as to
persons brought daily In contact with the
masses of the people and familiar with their
Wishes and wants, these memoralists express
removal OF no tax burden will afford more
beneficial relief or be received with more
universal satisfaction than the repeal of the
owo On beoss uSs ahe naaa At
requirements of consumption. The amount
OF capital and labor employed IN the pro-
dueiion OF the domestic article is relatively
small compared with the energies necessary
TO move other great industries affected BY
the tariff. The effect Of the repeal IN reduc.
ing revenue can be relied on with such GER
tainty and calculated with such nicely that
Congress cannot well help recognizing In the
removal of this duty an opportunity for re-
lievlng at once an overfowinE treasury and au
oyerburdened people with the least possible
shock to established industries. As the full
benefit OF this relief could not be obtained uu-
Iess the producing country was prevented
from sublecting sugar to an export duty these
memorialists would respectfully recommend
that no such country should have the privilege
less 1t be shippt d free of export duty. Such
convention as this. It is believed, could easily
be entered into The ensuing advantage TO
the general trade OF the country would be i'm
mense, and every consumer would be relieved
from the payment of duty on what has long
ceased to be n luxury, and Is now recognized
os one of the common necessities of life For

Loss Of the Queen OF the Bay"

Capt. Grounds fine scow, Queen Of
the Bay, is a total wreck off the
mouth of the Nehalem. She left last
Saturday from Kinney's dock with
about $1,000 worth OF salt, lumber,
cannery supplies, etc, for the Saw
log cannery on the Nehalem.
Two men from there yesterday
afternoon bring two accounts: one
is that the scow arrived in the
river all right, but that at ebb tide the
anchors dragged and that she went
back out in the breakers a total
wreck with all the cargo. The other,
and probably the more correct ac-
count is that strong northwester
was blowing, the scow made down
the coast all right and up to the
curved channel, when the ebb took
her and despite the anchor, threw
her over on the spit at the south
entrance to the river where she sank
and filled, the waves breaking clean
over her. The salt, of course, is lost,
the remainder of the cargo may be
saved.
The Queen of the Bay was worth
about $4,000 and had been refitted
and repaired throughout, this season,
She is believed to have been insured

Trouble at Gray's HarbOr.

From Aberdeen comes a report OF
serious trouble near Aberdeen, result
ing in bloodshed. The report re-
ceived at this Office is meager and
lacks detail: the facts are said to be
as follows: Last Friday night a party
OF men fifteen in number went to
Graham Bros fish traps, near Aber-
deem, and cut them badly; then went
to Fred Colbert's traps, farther
down, and almost totally destroyed
them; then cut up another mans
traps, and then went down to Al.
Harris trap, where they were met by
party with rifles; four men are re-
ported to have been wounded; two OF
them dangerously. The Chehalis
county grand jury is in session, and
as the men who did the cutting are
said 10 have been identified, it is
probable that indictments may be
found.
